Time Sync between two loggers

byronaneal Feb 18, 2016 01:32 PM

I have a CR1000 with a GPS unit attached that is used for time keeping for that logger.

Can I use the SendClockReport and PakBusClock functions to periodically set the time on another logger that is on the same IP network?

I see some examples when modems are used, but not on an IP network.

Thanks

Please see the help for the Networktimeprotocol instruction.   If included in the program with the correct parameters one logger can act as an NTP server to the other logger (which also needs the networktimeprotocol instruction but with different parameters).

Doing things that way is slightly easier than setting up the IP connection to the other logger and using the PakbusClock instructions and will in addition try to correct for any latency in the IP connection.
